Well I'm not sure about troy (cause I've never actually played the game) but Ashley is actually singing as Ellie. Her actual singing voice is much more refined.
Hearing Ashley hitting the wrong notes and hearing her voice crack, wobble, fade and break makes me listen and see Ellie singing to Joel's grave, and seeing Joel, sitting on his gravestone singing to his beloved daughter with his guitar on his arms

@@josephfabriziodawson5566 I don't know what to believe anymore. In the reveal trailer Joel was with Ellie on at least one scene on Seattle, and in the game he was replaced by Dina. I don't know what Druckmann was thinking anymore.

Well Neil said that the TLOU was a love story and that part two was going to be a Hate story, a revenge story. So yes I expect some crude emotions in part II
I really like the idea of them singing in character, since they're both clearly better in real than what they're doing here, but by doing it in character we're getting more of these subtle imperfections. It's pretty neat.
no autotune. emotional voice cracks from ashley. this is honestly just amazing. this song made me cry. so beautiful. and such a beautiful rendition too.

@@saeedmounir6135 joel was everything I wish my father coulve have been. So in loosing him I feel I lost a dad as well. This whole game was just so immersive and really nailed it in place with makeing u feel like you were surviving with joel and ellie. Its one of those games that you experience and are changed after playing. I'll always hold a very near and dear spot in my heart not just for the game but for the characters and the story as well.
What's crazy is that when they performed this, they already knew Joel was dying in the next game. Which makes the emotion/sadness from their performance all the more powerful. And yet the audience had no clue at this point.
It's so surreal to hear Joel and Ellie's voice coming from different faces. But that's just how impressive Troy and Ashley are in their voice acting skills.
@@coolestburrito3487 lol if you havent experienced it in any way than how are you going to criticize it in any way .People hate it because its the cool thing to do so when they dont know a single thing about the game and how the story is told and instead they will just be sheep andjust follow what their fave youtube said rather than looking into it in any way lol its just dumb

Damn Ashley Johnson's singing voice is so light and angelic while Troy Baker's singing voice is so dark and mysterious I love it. Not only do they make the perfect video game duo but they also make one perfect and awesome singing duo as well.
Their voices are in our souls now, you will hear this song or something they say years from now and it'll bring back all the memories of playing the last of us 1 & 2 and you'll break a little inside but be overwhelmed with the happiness that you got to be a part of it

tlou2 is trash while tlou1 is good. IN tlou2 ellie loses everything from her father figure to her ability to play guitar. They did'nt show anything to do with her immunity and at the end abby gets lev like joel got ellie. And the worst of all, ellie goes to kill abby who would've died if she would'nt go there and saved her then abby bites her finger off and ellie forgives her. Absolutely trash sequel
@@hexcodmyt I actually think the end of part 2 is more hopeful. She learns to let go of her grief over Joel and while she has lost everything, the final walk at the end probably shows her returning to Jackson which shows that she still has a home to go back to. So yeah I like it a lot
@@bug688 part 1 actually had a lot of potential, but they destroyed it. It could've literally been about making their own vaccine without killing ellie whether than making it about a stupid revenge which only shows complete loss of ellie and she doesn't even take her revenge.
Smart Dude yeah, that’s the point. He got death threats for making a good story, but not having respect...for characters...fictional characters...like wtf.
I know, boss. That whole game hits way too hard, honestly. It was an experience to be certain but jesus. Did Naughty Dog have to fucking crush us? Like everyone else, I wish we got sunshine and rainbows but we sure fucking didn’t.
Troy Baker is a vocal GOD. The fact that he can not only change his voice repeatedly to fit different characters but he can SING in their voice as well, he gets all the brownie points 🙌🙌

Tyler Tatum I’m sorry to hear that it was for me too literally 48 hours before the release so I feel your pain
@HorrorGal __ same
Who’s here after TLOU2 :(
what a dissapointment smh
@@sakagjiata I liked it despite some writing choices, 8/10 for me
Not the story I expected, not the story I wanted, but a story that is just as Impactful as the first. Loved it so much. A perfect reflection of the first game.
@@rafaellucas893 It's a 2/10. Trash game xd.
Cerwyn
have u played it?
Did anyone else think it looked like they were both crying at one point (they already knew what was gonna happen😢)
Imagine though. At this point in time the crowd had so little info on the game while these two knew everything. So they probably already knew this was in gonna be in the credits and the meaning behind it 😭
Joseph Fabrizio Dawson ☹️😢
@@josephfabriziodawson5566 I don't know what to believe anymore. In the reveal trailer Joel was with Ellie on at least one scene on Seattle, and in the game he was replaced by Dina. I don't know what Druckmann was thinking anymore.
2:08 Ashley's voice got broken and she's trying not to cry
@@IanDaYz well, she actually lost her father so it must hit really hard, you can see it in her expresiones, she's trying so hard not to cry
"Im going there to see my father" whyyy im not crying youre crying.
brooooo u could hear her voice crack i think she was legit abt to cry
2:45 I love how people are going from 'OMG it's Troy Baker and he's siniging OMGOMG' to 'damn that's f*cking deep and sad I better shut the hell up' in 3 seconds xD
Best comment so far
truer words were never spoken
Oh my god. They are singing with such emotion and this makes me feel like this game will be even more heartbreaking.
The Ghost of Winterfell the most recent trailer made me cry so we know the game is going to HURT
@@Emily-di6um in 2020 im gonna flood my room with tears 😂😂
Well Neil said that the TLOU was a love story and that part two was going to be a Hate story, a revenge story. So yes I expect some crude emotions in part II
I'm already heartbroken, without even putting my hands on the game, 2 delays and now indefinitely.
Hope you like golf
Joel: you sure you wanna do this song kiddo
Ellie: I'm going there and I'm going to sing to every last one of them....
😂
except abby, fuck abby
A much brighter version of Part 2.
How he freaking sings it AS JOEL!!
If you listen close it's like the first verse is young Ellie, and the 2nd is Part 2 Ellie. It's crazy.
they both are ... she is way better than she is in this song .... they had her sing more shitty to sound like ellie they both pull it of wicked cool
I really like the idea of them singing in character, since they're both clearly better in real than what they're doing here, but by doing it in character we're getting more of these subtle imperfections. It's pretty neat.
Ashley Johnson:
1) Ellie ✅
2) Best voice actor ✅
3) A Good singer ✅
4) Beautiful ✅
5) An absolute Legend ✅ :”)
@Lee 80s hell yeah
Gaming-With-Sowad What about Troy Baker?
Lee 80s Hell Yeah
The Electrifying Gamer troy baker and ellie are pretty much the same ig 🖖🏻🖖🏻
Lee 80s but joel’s dead so 😢
no autotune. emotional voice cracks from ashley. this is honestly just amazing. this song made me cry. so beautiful. and such a beautiful rendition too.
*I walk through the valley of goosebumps when i hear this*
[Verse 1 - Ashley Johnson]
I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woes
There is no sickness, no toil, no danger
In that bright land to which I go
[Bridge]
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
[Chorus]
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Verse 2 - Ashley Johnson]
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where gods redeemed their vigils keep
[Bridge]
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there, no more to roam
[Chorus]
So I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Verse 2 - Troy Baker]
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
This body rests in the old churchyard
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And go singing home to God
[Bridge]
I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there, no more to roam
[Chorus]
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Chorus - Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker together]
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin over home
[Outro - Troy Baker]
I'm just a-goin'
I feel the lyrics are already telling the whole game: ellie is going to see her mother and joel is going to die at the end...
Thanks man:)
RBPM2000 fucking right omg I was just about to point that out...ima fucking die if joel dies
BR?
@@Cangurubombad0 sempre tem
I hope this becomes a cut scene in the game.
That would be amazing!!!!
Make it the intro song with all the credits.
End credits song
yeah no
The end credits of TLOU2
"I don't think I could ever forgive you for that... but I'd like to try."
"...I'd like that"
Okay...See you around...
That destroyed me 🥺
The fact that Joel died knowing that Ellie still hasent forgiven him killed me 💔
@@saeedmounir6135 joel was everything I wish my father coulve have been. So in loosing him I feel I lost a dad as well. This whole game was just so immersive and really nailed it in place with makeing u feel like you were surviving with joel and ellie. Its one of those games that you experience and are changed after playing. I'll always hold a very near and dear spot in my heart not just for the game but for the characters and the story as well.
2:43 my soul has just been liberated
What's crazy is that when they performed this, they already knew Joel was dying in the next game. Which makes the emotion/sadness from their performance all the more powerful. And yet the audience had no clue at this point.
One of the worst creative decisions in video game history
@@NickzAndMikz killing joel is definitely not inherently bad, it could have been excecuted better but its insanely overhated
everyone knew from the leaks, which is why nobody bought that dogshit
@@awildmoose6541So you're saying because Joel died, nobody bought the game? I'd have to challenge that point, the numbers suggest otherwise moose.
@@dethtron would have sold leagues more without the leaks, as people with a basic understanding of storytelling avoided the game at all cost.
This hits differently now that part 2 is out😔
😭😭😭😭 the ending made me so sad
@@Quietsloths me too 😔 I literally cried through most of the game.
@@Quietsloths it wasnt even sad it was bad🤦🏽its my opinion just tho
For real
@@urislife8817 bro you don't have bring others opinions down
It's so surreal to hear Joel and Ellie's voice coming from different faces. But that's just how impressive Troy and Ashley are in their voice acting skills.
I needed to watch this after what happened to Joel, my heart hurts.
Same man
What a fucking piss poor execution story wise on this sequel, it had so much more potential
@@_RealG0dFather did you play the game or watch a walkthrough?
Akraman He didn’t need to play the game to see that the plot of tlou2 was disappointingly underwhelming
@@coolestburrito3487 lol if you havent experienced it in any way than how are you going to criticize it in any way .People hate it because its the cool thing to do so when they dont know a single thing about the game and how the story is told and instead they will just be sheep andjust follow what their fave youtube said rather than looking into it in any way lol its just dumb
I remember playing the game and getting to the part in which Joel and Ellie are riding the horse and he tells her that when he was younger, he wanted to be a singer, and how right afterwards Ellie asked him to sing and he rejected.
That part actually left me with the will of hearing Joel singing. Now, through to this video, I know.
Thank you so much!
He sings in The Last of Us 2. It rips your heart out too 😭
Anybody else cry after hearing Joel’s voice after playing part 2? Or was it just me?
where both men and women cried
Hearing Troy hit that high note, thinking of Joel just giving his heart and soul into the song, that shook me, gave me genuine goosebumps.
*Ellie sings*
Random person: "Omg, her voice is so beautiful."
Joel: "Hold my shiv."
Nomi Kha he didn’t wtf
@Nomi Kha Lol, I'm so confused.😅
The fact that Troy sang this in Joel's voice is soo fricken cool and impressive
anyone else cried and sang along when this played in the credits?
I don't think a lot of people listened to it honestly. It should have been a cutscene. But yes it was awesome in the credits.
I just cried when it start to play
I sure did
@@Tehnsi why
*The sorrow in their eyes , they knew it , this made me cry all over*
The fact that Troy is able to put on a voice and sing absolutely flawlessly at the same time is astonishing. Bravo. 👏
This is so much better to listen after beating the game
So we've finally heard Joel sing!
Troy Baker’s voice is so calming!
close your eyes if you want the ultimate last of us experience .
DEAMN RIGHT !!!
Coming back to this just makes joels death hurt more.
I feel that
Josh Shedden it really does ☹️
😔😔😔
Felt that.
Maybe edit it and write something like "spoiler alert" at the top of this comment. I'm glad i finished the game before reading this.
They actually put this song in the end credits... This cover is so good!
Damn Ashley Johnson's singing voice is so light and angelic while Troy Baker's singing voice is so dark and mysterious I love it. Not only do they make the perfect video game duo but they also make one perfect and awesome singing duo as well.
i ll miss you my hero, rest in peace. we will always remember you...
After play the last of us 2, this song really gets more emotion.
this hits differently now
Their voices are in our souls now, you will hear this song or something they say years from now and it'll bring back all the memories of playing the last of us 1 & 2 and you'll break a little inside but be overwhelmed with the happiness that you got to be a part of it
Yes
Watching this after playing part 2 is devestating.
Yea, it's devestating that they ruined the franchise like that.
@@Robert-fc9xz stop bitching and let people enjoy the game
Arturo Díaz C. and Roman Shank Can you guys just let a person have their own fucking opinion?
@@AB-qc3qe having an OPINION is okay but this guy comments all over the video comments section and bitches about how bad it is and makes people mad for no reason whatsoever. He is not expressing an opinion he is just ruining the vibe if you don't like it just shut up comment it once if you have to but stop ruining other people's days
Such talented actors. Singing in character like that, I've never seen or heard anything like it. This is so brilliant.
Troy's ability to sound like an older man is absolutely incredible.
We know what he meant in those lyrics. Part 2 was a masterpiece in my opinion but man it got me emotional
I've never been moved by a game but fuck this killed me 😂
tlou2 is trash while tlou1 is good. IN tlou2 ellie loses everything from her father figure to her ability to play guitar. They did'nt show anything to do with her immunity and at the end abby gets lev like joel got ellie. And the worst of all, ellie goes to kill abby who would've died if she would'nt go there and saved her then abby bites her finger off and ellie forgives her. Absolutely trash sequel
@@hexcodmyt That is the most child brained summary of the game I've ever read lol you either didn't play it or have the emotional IQ of a sock
@@hexcodmyt I actually think the end of part 2 is more hopeful. She learns to let go of her grief over Joel and while she has lost everything, the final walk at the end probably shows her returning to Jackson which shows that she still has a home to go back to. So yeah I like it a lot
@@bug688 part 1 actually had a lot of potential, but they destroyed it. It could've literally been about making their own vaccine without killing ellie whether than making it about a stupid revenge which only shows complete loss of ellie and she doesn't even take her revenge.
after playing the game this hits different
I know you're here for Joel
Moments of silence for Joel a Legend who died in a horrible way
I feel terrible for what happened to Joel
And like you said, he was truely a legend for all gamers
He totally had it coming though
coasterboy456 No he never
Harpreet Mangat boy, he got death threats.
Smart Dude yeah, that’s the point. He got death threats for making a good story, but not having respect...for characters...fictional characters...like wtf.
This song better be on the official soundtrack so I can get it on the iTunes! Troy and Ashley is my favourite duo next to Troy and Nolan.
Folks who got riled up with this game because of what happens to Joel, don’t seem to understand that as works of art, he & Ellie will live forever.
RIP Joel miller we will always love you 😭❤️
Wow, these guys are talented AF... I can barely walk without falling off. Great guys, keep the great work.
This is pure golden comment, have a nice 2019 :))

@OMEGALUL 123 yeah we all think that , i'm just making a requesting that'll probably never be accepted but why not take a chance?
There is rumous that part 3 is releasing on 2024-2025.. Can't say anything facts tho.
They just announced it yesterday !!!! It’s on its way
@Rene Bischel lmao
When this played during the end credits I cried harder than I have at any other game, tv show or movie in my life.
I know, boss. That whole game hits way too hard, honestly. It was an experience to be certain but jesus. Did Naughty Dog have to fucking crush us? Like everyone else, I wish we got sunshine and rainbows but we sure fucking didn’t.
Game is trash, 2/10.
@@Robert-fc9xz Ok incel
Was not expecting this at the end of part 2, so good.
Troy Baker is a vocal GOD. The fact that he can not only change his voice repeatedly to fit different characters but he can SING in their voice as well, he gets all the brownie points 🙌🙌
Ashley Johnson is soooo talented and beautiful... she deserves an Oscar for her performance in TLOU2 🙌🙌
Oscar ain't enough to do Ashley , laura Bailey and troy justice ....
It's The Oscars have an academy award for best computer game, actor, actress.... Etc.
Totally agree
I'm about to cry hearing Troy sing like Joel, I love you Joel.
This is when I knew Joel was going to die because that part Troy sang was not part of the original song it was only about him dying
The last of us 2 could have been so much more than this, what a shame... Fuck that Abby.
@@ziyadsel the game we got shouldve been part 3 and part 2 shouldve taken place in the 4 year time skip, with the truth about ellie and the fireflies being the main beat of the story also introduce abby in part 2 to get us used to her before what she wouldve done in part 3.
I will love you forever Joel
I get chills every time i hear Troy sing this
Actually crying after beating the game now.
Same man same
Game sucks, but okay.
Edward Jacobus game doesn’t suck, the story does though.
Almost cried at how they ruined the franchise.
Yeah, I actually cried
THIS NEVER GETS OLD....I KEEP WATCHING THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN
Same! I keep coming back
@@steadfast101 see i am back again to watch
Love it or hate it, you can't deny that the soundtrack of the game is amazing
imagine having two such passionate people working on your game, movie, whatever. Its so special.
Gawd...when Ashley Johnson starts singing...SPLOOSH!!!! When Troy Baker starts singing....*melts*
Excellent foreshadowing. Excuse me, I must go cry.
I love Ashley for making Ellie the amazing character she is ❤️ it’s all thanks to her and how much emotion she put into her.
I can just imagine 14 year old Ellie sings while Joel plays his guitar... I miss Joel so much
